FromHell: At first I thought that here on Brainking there couldn't be any atomic stalemate because of the definition of stalemate: "Stalemate is a situation in chess where the player whose turn it is to move is not in check but has no legal moves.". As the BK atomic implementation lacks checks, I thought that there can't be any stalemate (at least in legal positions). Your first example proves the contrary!
Concerning your second example I dare to contradict ;) My understanding of the rules is that a King can always move next to the other King, and as they can't capture each other it's not check! So Kb7 and Kd7 are allowed regardless of the check rule. Only for Kb8 and Kd8 the check rule would make a difference.
rabbitoid: "Don't ask me how the black bishop got to b8 :)" No, I won't do this, I just want to know how the black rook got to b7? :-D
